as_o of_o fire_n and_o again_o it_o be_v 2._o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v stir_v up_o with_o boldness_n to_o speak_v that_o be_v when_o they_o see_v god_n dishonour_v this_o spirit_n kindle_v a_o high_a zeal_n in_o they_o that_o be_v set_v their_o heart_n on_o fire_n it_o set_v their_o tongue_n on_o fire_n when_o the_o spirit_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o christian_a it_o will_v fill_v it_o full_a of_o zeal_n the_o heart_n the_o tongue_n the_o hand_n the_o foot_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o part_n will_v be_v full_a of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o it_o be_v imposssible_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v have_v true_a zeal_n except_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n we_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n that_o be_v they_o speak_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o zeal_n of_o another_o nature_n and_o quality_n than_o they_o do_v before_o well_o then_o examine_v what_o heat_n and_o zeal_n you_o have_v in_o your_o action_n so_o much_o heat_n so_o much_o spirit_n he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v if_o you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o zeal_n that_o be_v in_o you_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o excellent_a sign_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o no_o now_o that_o a_o man_n may_v know_v by_o this_o i_o will_v make_v it_o clear_a by_o this_o example_n take_v a_o bottle_n that_o be_v full_a of_o water_n and_o another_o that_o be_v full_a of_o aqua_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la look_v upon_o they_o outward_o and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o colour_n but_o if_o you_o taste_v they_o the_o one_o be_v hot_a and_o lively_a the_o other_o be_v cold_a and_o raw_a so_o look_v unto_o the_o formal_a outward_a action_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o have_v the_o same_o colour_n which_o the_o action_n of_o holy_a man_n but_o if_o you_o taste_v they_o that_o be_v examine_v their_o life_n and_o search_v into_o their_o heart_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o great_a difference_n it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v light_n and_o heat_n in_o they_o but_o they_o want_v this_o spirit_n for_o they_o have_v neither_o a_o loathe_n of_o sin_n nor_o power_n to_o resist_v sin_n they_o may_v put_v a_o false_a colour_n upon_o their_o action_n but_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v and_o by_o this_o they_o may_v restrain_v lust_n for_o some_o end_n they_o can_v master_n and_o subdue_v they_o and_o it_o may_v heat_v a_o part_n of_o his_o heart_n but_o it_o can_v heat_v all_o his_o heart_n but_o where_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n come_v it_o heat_v all_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v it_o kindle_v a_o holy_a fire_n in_o all_o the_o faculty_n to_o burn_v up_o sin_n that_o be_v there_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o john_n the_o baptist_n baptism_n and_o christ_n john_n can_v baptize_v they_o with_o water_n but_o christ_n with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o examine_v what_o heat_n there_o be_v in_o you_o against_o evil_n and_o what_o zeal_n there_o be_v in_o you_o to_o good_a be_v you_o cold_a in_o prayer_n in_o conference_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v you_o read_v hear_v pray_v and_o confer●_n but_o see_v with_o what_o heat_n you_o do_v they_o be_v it_o with_o you_o in_o these_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v you_o to_o be_v in_o earthly_a thing_n in_o the_o 2_o cor._n 7._o 30._o 31._o to_o sorrow_n as_o if_o you_o sorrow_v not_o to_o use_v the_o 31._o world_n as_o if_o you_o use_v it_o not_o that_o be_v do_v you_o perform_v holy_a duty_n with_o that_o coldness_n as_o if_o you_o care_v not_o whether_o you_o do_v they_o or_o do_v they_o not_o do_v you_o hear_v as_o if_o you_o hear_v not_o and_o do_v you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o if_o you_o receive_v it_o not_o do_v you_o pray_v as_o if_o you_o pray_v not_o do_v you_o love_v as_o if_o you_o love_v not_o then_o sure_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o find_v spiritual_a heat_n and_o zeal_n in_o you_o a_o nimbleness_n and_o quickness_n to_o good●_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n ●or_a it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o heat_v the_o so●l_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n say_v the_o zeal_n of_o thy_o house_n have_v even_o eat_v i_o up_o that_o be_v i_o have_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o zeal_n wrought_v in_o i_o by_o thy_o spirit_n that_o i_o can_v see_v thou_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n dishonour_v but_o i_o must_v burn_v with_o zeal_n therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o what_o zeal_n you_o have_v for_o god_n and_o godliness_n be_v you_o hot_a for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n and_o cold_a for_o grace_n and_o holiness_n then_o whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o yourselves_o yet_o you_o have_v not_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n there_o be_v not_o a_o holy_a man_n or_o woman_n that_o belong_v unto_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v this_o holy_a fire_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o mistake_v i_o as_o if_o every_o christian_a do_v attain_v unto_o the_o like_a heat_n and_o zeal_n as_o other_o do_v for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o some_o have_v more_o and_o some_o have_v less_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n that_o they_o have_v but_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o must_v be_v full_a of_o heat_n full_a in_o some_o measure_n answerable_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n but_o if_o you_o find_v no_o heat_n at_o all_o in_o you_o than_o you_o have_v not_o a_o grain_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o you_o not_o to_o be_v hot_a be_v to_o be_v luke_o warm_a and_o luke_o warmness_n be_v that_o which_o god_n hate_v it_o be_v a_o temper_n mix_v of_o both_o heat_n and_o cold_a loathsome_a to_o nature_n and_o odious_a to_o god_n and_o therefore_o in_o revel_n 3._o because_o the_o laodicean_n be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a but_o luke_o warm_a that_o be_v they_o have_v neither_o 3._o heat_n to_o god_n nor_o be_v so_o cold_a as_o to_o forsake_v the_o truth_n that_o be_v sin_n and_o holiness_n stand_v in_o arbitration_n together_o and_o they_o have_v as_o good_a a_o mind_n unto_o the_o one_o as_o unto_o the_o other_o now_o because_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o they_o therefore_o say_v god_n i_o will_v spew_v they_o out_o and_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v zealous_a and_o amend_v that_o be_v except_o they_o labour_v to_o be_v hot_a in_o the_o spirit_n they_o can_v be_v save_v again_o in_o titus_n 2._o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o apostle_n that_o christ_n 〈◊〉_d die_v that_o he_o may_v purchase_v to_o himself_o a_o people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n that_o be_v this_o zeal_n must_v not_o be_v a_o constrain_a zeal_n but_o a_o willing_a zeal_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o motive_n to_o move_v man_n to_o be_v zealous_a but_o this_o because_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v they_o for_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v zealous_a of_o good_a work_n for_o his_o glory_n if_o there_o be_v any_o spark_n of_o the_o fire_n of_o grace_n in_o we_o it_o will_v burn_v at_o christ_n dishonour_n and_o if_o christ_n come_v to_o this_o end_n to_o make_v man_n zealous_a then_o sure_o christ_n will_v not_o lose_v his_o end_n but_o they_o that_o christ_n will_v save_v shall_v be_v zealous_a therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o labour_n to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o labour_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n that_o you_o may_v be_v zealous_a but_o alas_o man_n think_v that_o they_o have_v drink_v too_o much_o of_o this_o cup_n of_o giddiness_n that_o be_v they_o think_v they_o need_v not_o be_v so_o zealous_a as_o they_o be_v but_o i_o say_v if_o you_o be_v not_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o

see_v such_o halt_n between_o two_o opinion_n show_v your_o zeal_n by_o hate_v and_o abhor_v popery_n and_o labour_v to_o draw_v man_n from_o it_o especial_o now_o when_o we_o see_v man_n so_o desirous_a to_o go_v into_o egypt_n again_o which_o be_v to_o be_v lament_v in_o these_o day_n for_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n against_o we_o but_o where_o be_v our_o

of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o you_o that_o your_o sinful_a corruption_n may_v be_v more_o heal_v that_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o you_o may_v be_v more_o enliven_v i_o say_v grace_n

and_o therefore_o you_o may_v have_v a_o flash_n or_o a_o seem_a power_n of_o strength_n such_o as_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n have_v in_o matth._n 25._o which_o 25._o seem_v to_o be_v strong_a in_o

man_n that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n will_v have_v be_v hot_a and_o zealous_a where_o be_v the_o generation_n of_o these_o man_n sure_o they_o be_v all_o go_v for_o there_o be_v no_o heat_n nor_o

mild_a and_o patient_a first_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o holy_a man_n may_v have_v pit_n answ._n wherein_o they_o may_v be_v fall_v i_o say_v they_o may_v have_v dross_n as_o well_o as_o gold_n and_o hence_o they_o may_v be_v drive_v through_o a_o strong_a passion_n and_o lust_n not_o just_o to_o scale_v sin_n aright_o whence_o arise_v remissness_n and_o neglect_v both_o in_o do_v good_a and_o resist_a evil_n but_o this_o in_o a_o regenerate_a man_n i_o call_v but_o a_o passion_n because_o it_o continue_v not_o for_o prayer_n and_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o pure_a word_n will_v recover_v this_o again_o that_o be_v it_o will_v recover_v his_o strength_n and_o make_v he_o zealous_a against_o sin_n but_o if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n what_o profession_n soever_o he_o make_v of_o christ_n that_o can_v wink_v at_o sin_n and_o not_o be_v move_v at_o it_o and_o the_o word_n nor_o prayer_n do_v not_o kindle_v this_o holy_a fire_n in_o he_o then_o plain_o that_o man_n be_v a_o dead_a man_n there_o be_v no_o spark_n of_o holiness_n in_o he_o therefore_o i_o may_v say_v to_o every_o such_o holy_a man_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o say_v to_o hannibal_n that_o he_o have_v fire_n in_o he_o but_o he_o want_v blow_v so_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n you_o have_v heat_n in_o you_o but_o if_o this_o heat_n do_v not_o appear_v at_o all_o time_n or_o at_o sometime_o it_o be_v because_o it_o want_v blow_v for_o when_o they_o have_v just_a occasion_n to_o exercise_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n for_o god_n glory_n they_o will_v

this_o i_o answer_v that_o howsoever_o some_o man_n answ._n that_o be_v faithful_a be_v not_o so_o zealous_a it_o be_v true_a yet_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v that_o

there_o be_v false_a and_o counterfeit_a zeal_n and_o there_o be_v a_o true_a zeal_n that_o be_v there_o may_v be_v a_o zeal_n without_o heat_n as_o a_o painter_n may_v paint_v the_o similitude_n
